Think braces are just for teens? Think again!

More adults than ever are choosing to transform their smiles—and for good reason:

Boost your confidence – A straighter smile can make you feel more comfortable in photos, at work, and in everyday moments.

Improve oral health – Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, helping reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Support overall health – Healthy teeth and gums are linked to better whole-body wellness.

Correct bite issues – Fixing alignment can relieve jaw discomfort, uneven wear, and even headaches.

Modern, discreet options – Today’s braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before.

Invest in yourself – Your smile is something you carry with you every day—why not make it one you love?

It’s never too late to achieve a healthy, confident smile. Start your journey with Plaza Orthodontics today.

Braces and Aligner Care Tips!

Taking care of your braces or clear aligners is essential for a healthy smile and successful orthodontic treatment. Plaza Orthodontics team recommend a few simple habits to keep your teeth and appliances in great condition.

Brush and Floss Daily -
Brush after every meal and floss at least once a day to remove food and plaque around brackets, wires, and between teeth.

Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods -
Foods like popcorn, chewing gum, hard candy, and caramel can damage braces and delay treatment.

Clean Your Clear Aligners -
If you wear clear aligners, rinse and gently brush them daily with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water to prevent warping.

Wear Aligners as Directed -
For the best results, wear aligners 20–22 hours per day and only remove them for eating and cleaning your teeth.

Keep Up with Orthodontic Visits -
Regular checkups at Plaza Orthodontics help ensure your braces or aligners are working properly and your treatment stays on schedule.

Following these simple braces and aligner care tips will help protect your smile and keep your orthodontic treatment moving forward.

We are reachable over phone or email for any questions or inquiries.

Smart food choices = Healthy smiles

Plaza Orthodontics team believes great smiles start with what’s on your plate! The foods you choose every day play a big role in keeping teeth strong and braces or aligners on track.

Crunchy fruits & veggies like apples (cut into slices) and carrots
Dairy products like cheese and yogurt for strong enamel
Water to rinse away food particles and protect your smile

Foods to avoid with braces or aligners:

• Sticky candies (caramel, taffy, gummies)
• Hard foods (nuts, ice, hard pretzels)
• Popcorn (kernels can damage wires)
• Hard or thick pizza crust
• Sugary & carbonated drinks
• Chewing gum

Aligner tip: Remove trays before eating or drinking anything except water, and brush before putting them back in to keep them clear and clean!

Healthy habits + regular orthodontic care = a confident, beautiful smile.

Breaking brackets can slow down your orthodontic treatment and lead to longer time in braces. Brackets are carefully placed to apply precise pressure that moves your teeth into proper alignment, and when one breaks or comes loose, that force is disrupted. This can cause teeth to shift incorrectly, delay progress, and require extra appointments to fix the damage. Broken brackets are often caused by chewing on hard or sticky foods, ice, pens, or fingernails, or by not following care instructions. Taking care of your braces helps keep your treatment on track, reduces the risk of additional costs, and gets you to your best smile faster.

Broken or Damaged Braces: The First Step to Take!

✅ Stop fiddling with it. Twisting or pulling can make things worse.

✅ Check what’s damaged:
Loose bracket
Poking wire
Missing elastic/tie
Band came loose

✅ Quick fixes you can do at home (temporary!)

Poking wire:
Cover it with orthodontic wax (your best friend).
If no wax, a small piece of sugar-free gum works in a pinch.

Loose bracket still on the wire:
Leave it where it is and wax it so it doesn’t rub.

Wire sticking out badly:
If a wire pokes your cheeks or gums, you can use tweezers to bend it toward your teeth and away from the softer tissues in your mouth. If a bracket is loose on the wire, you can use tweezers to position it between teeth or in the center of a tooth, ensuring it faces the right direction to avoid cuts or scrapes.

✅ Topical anesthetic like Orabase or Ora-Gel and over the counter pain rekeivers can be used to reduced inflammation and discomfort.

✅ Call our office to schedule an appointment for the broken bracket

Always let us know even if it seems minor.
Ask if it’s urgent or can wait until your next appointment.

Go in sooner if:
Pain is sharp or worsening
The wire is cutting your cheek or gums
A band or bracket came completely off

✅Preventing future breakage

Avoid hard/chewy foods (ice, popcorn kernels, nuts, hard candy)
Cut crunchy foods into small pieces
Don’t chew pens, nails, or open stuff with your teeth
